I remember all this talk of back shoulder passes that no one but Aaron Could make. I understand that two deep safties will allow the corner to play more aggressive, but this shouldn't be taken away completely should it??
This Video shows the back shoulder pass that Aaron has perfected last year!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHg3v87tAQ8

So the west coast offense. I'm frustrated that we see virtually no west coast offense anymore.

I'll just add to your comment as well a TE basically running right down the middle of the field really helps.

Basically. It's like we either try to run with our non existent running game. Throw a bomb or hike and immediately throw to the side at the line of scrimmage where we get tackled instantly. Teams know we are constantly trying to go for the big play and it's not working for us. It doesn't seem like we make any adjustments. I still think we'll be fine especially when we get a full Greg Jennings back but we're definitely not the homerun hitting offense we were a year ago.

The packers need to attack the middle of the field. With tight ends or screens. The receivers as good as they are need to get to the middle of the field on their post and slant routes. It also seems jordy Nelson only runs vertical sideline routes. They need to mix it up. The middle of the field should be open for yardage on check downs as long as our back can beat one man. That just seems to be a stretch with guys we have.

Jordy usually always runs vertical to try opening up the middle of the field but, teams have been playing that against us

Agree with all of this. Beating the cover 2 is all about getting the safety's back up toward the line of scrimmage. To do that you need to keep beating the linebackers with a power running game or a lot of slants, crossing routes and Norms favorite, check downs. Until we do that all the deep seam routes and go routes MM insists on running will continue to be worthless.

2 Deep Safeties?

Also, unless you can make a team rush more than 4 you're going to be throwing against 7 in coverage and even Rodgers looks bad in that scenario. So you need an OL that can at least give you some time. Not sure how likely that is but it sort of goes hand in hand with the short passing game, they each improve the other.
